Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image shows a pencil sketch of an urban landscape. From an elevated viewpoint, a bridge crosses the scene with a tower protruding. Buildings in the distance suggest a cityscape. Closer, a structure with an arched doorway is visible, accompanied by faint lines indicating a street. The drawing is gestural with light strokes and minimal detail in a monochromatic style on cream-colored paper.
